Jessica could hardly sleep that night, her mind racing with all the possibilities and dangers ahead. Her father’s threats echoed in her head, mingling with Thomas’s words of caution. She knew she had to be careful, but the idea of playing the role of the dutiful daughter made her skin crawl. Every time she closed her eyes, she imagined Andrew Lane watching her every move, waiting for her to slip up. It was a nightmare she couldn’t wake up from.

The next morning, Jessica forced herself out of bed, determined to keep up appearances. She dressed in her usual business attire, carefully applying makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she barely recognized the woman looking back at her. The confident, driven Jessica Lane seemed like a distant memory.

    Jessica's hand trembled as she stared at the photo of Thomas. The sight of the red dot on his forehead paralyzed her with fear. It felt like the walls of the room were closing in, and every breath she took grew heavier. Andrew Lane had made it clear—this was more than just a struggle for power. He was willing to spill blood to get what he wanted, and she was the one who had to make a choice.For a long moment, she couldn’t think straight.

She had sent the message, drawn her line in the sand, and there was no turning back. But as much as she tried to steel herself for what was to come, she couldn’t shake the gnawing fear in the pit of her stomach.Andrew Lane was no ordinary adversary. He was a master manipulator, a man who had built his empire on a foundation of ruthlessness and deceit. He had never hesitated to crush anyone who stood in his way, and now his own daughter was daring to defy him. She knew the risks, understood the dangers, but it didn’t make it any easier to face.Taking a deep breath, Jessica finally stepped out of the car. The cool evening air bit at her skin, but she barely noticed. Her mind was focused entirely on the task ahead. As she walked toward the front door, her thoughts were racing. What would she say?
